Damnit, I'm pretty ticked off.
It started snowing up here in the Lansing, MI area around noon. Pretty light stuff. I have a flight out at 3:30. The snow starts picking up and it takes me longer to get to the airport than anticipated, but I still have a solid hour and a half before take-off. What's this? They can't give me an assigned seat, but I should be able to get one at the gate. Hmm, nope, no they cannot. I have a reserved seat though, so they try offering $300 for someone to come off. No takers. I end up getting $500 for another ticket or 25,000 bonus miles in exchange for waiting for the 5:05.
So it starts snowing heavier. No biggie right? Well the flight in from Detroit that I'd be getting on ends up skipping the landing on its first pass. It tries a second time, lands, and ends up "sliding" off the runway. Great, it ends up being fucking stuck in the grass and because of that, the snow and some fog, all flights are cancelled for the night. Now I get to wake up for a 7am flight tomorrow morning. I get first class seats though, since I was bumped from my first flight. But fuck, I wasted so much time at the airport and now I'm stuck in my apartment in a deserted college town.
Bah, I just ordered some stuff from Papa John's. There's no new Lost to watch, which means I can watch That 70s Show without downloading it later.
Seriously though, I fucking hate flying. Such a hassle, and it's all so disorganized with overbookings and the weather. Not to mention I hate airports ever since my first trip to London when someone stole my luggage from the baggage claim before I could get there. Damnit.
